Will Smith on France's Proposed 75 Percent Tax Rate on Rich: "God Bless America"
The actor said he'd "pay anything" he needs to pay to "keep my country going," but expressed shock at France's proposed rate on the rich
On France's TF1 in early May, Smith explained why he supported the idea of paying higher taxes, saying, "I have no issue with paying taxes and whatever needs to be done for my country to grow. I believe very firmly that my ability to sit here—I'm a black man who didn't go to college, yet I get to travel around the world and sell my movies, and I believe very firmly that America is the only place on Earth that I could exist. So I will pay anything that I need to pay to keep my country growing."
